1 week old AMD X3 440 with Gigabyte GA-880GM-UD2H - As good as new!

[SumitB]

Putting up for sale the following:

AMD X3 440 Processor

Gigabyte GA-880GM-UD2H Rev. 1.4 Mainboard

The items come with everything that was in the original box including plastics

Purchased from ITWares on the 13-Jan-2011. The bill (attached) however mentions the date as 13-Feb-2011. So you get 3 weeks of extra warranty. :clap:

Purchased for Rs. 7500/- + 350/- (Shipping)

Asking Price: Rs. 7000/- + Shipping (Max. 200/-)

Reason for Selling: I got this combo to put in a rig for exclusive use as a HTPC. Intended to use Windows 7 x64 and XBMC. However, the onboard GPU HD4250 cannot cope up with my high bitrate mkv files and gives me constant pauses and keeps buffering which is not at all a good experience. I have been advised on XBMC forums to try a i3 based rig. I tried using an old E4400 processor with a Asus P5GC-VM and a HD4670 GPU and it worked without flaws. I am therefore selling this off and will get a i3 based rig. Also open to trading this with a i3 processor and a Gigabyte H55 board.

Payment: Either trade in or 100% advance through cash deposit in SBI (will attract Rs. 25/- extra) or IDBI or through NEFT.

Courier: DTDC

CPU Alone for Rs. [STRIKE]3150/- plus Shipping[/STRIKE] 3000/- SHIPPED

Mainboard Alone for Rs. [STRIKE]3850/- plus Shipping[/STRIKE] 3600/- SHIPPED

But, I sell the CPU only if someone buys the Mainboard, and vice versa. As of now, I have individual buyers for both.

Also, yesterday, I logged the events in XBMC and sent a log to the seniors at their forums. This is what they came up with.

HD5450 is a card that play ANY HD video and audio formats flawlessly....

we can't always say why this + that worked...

but we know that the HD5xxx series is the card to get for HTPC ATI lovers...

This was in reply to a question of mine asking why the E4400 paired with a cheap P5GC-MX worked with XBMC without glitches. I really want to avoid using an additional GPU. Thus, I want to first give the i3 setup a shot.

I am adding this information as I don't want prospective buyers to think that there is something fishy going on here!

A little bit off-topic, but have you tried enabling DXVA? Use K-lite Codec Pack and enable H.264 DXVA when they ask. I have got x264 20 Mbps files to play on laptop Nvidia IGP that way. I can't see a i3 IGP helping at all.

@OP.. The mobo is perfectly capable of hardware accelerating x264 & even BluRay discs using onboard GPU... It supports UVD2.0 which is fully capable....
